Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Lisa, there was a study done a few years ago at University of Miami (I think), which showed very promising results. Parents were taught to give their asthmatic children a 10 minute back and chest massage just before bedtime. They found a 45% decrease in both frequency and severity of asthma attacks, directly linked to the practice of nightly massage. I don't have reference to the study, but I bet if we googled we might find it. If I do find it, I will post under separate email Robert Patrick > > Lisa Haro <aammom615 > 2005/11/17 Thu AM 07:50:38 EST > > Asthma question > > > > Hello all!! > > I am new here!

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 ---hi lisa yes some info for you to look into i will try and answer questions on this pho Tell me what you think if you will about this info and what you do with this info you will need good analytical skills btw Tackling asthma Certain principles can be employed in dealing with this problem ,this information is mainly taken from the Edgar cayce research material and also combined with other principles. Principle 1 One of the most important principles outlined by cayce and others where people are suffering from any condition is to do everything they can to help others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce frequently mentioned that this would bring faster results. This is a great ingredient in helping all people to transmute their own karma. See other pages on this particularly important treatment. Principle2 According to the book asthma a complete guide by Professor brostoff and Linda gamlin Who have reviewed thousands of pieces of work by various departments, doctors, and researchers, there is a vast amount of knowledge on the subject. Those people interested in the subject would I feel do well to consult their book ISBN 07475 4043 8 These are some of the findings Numerous people have benefited greatly by doing yoga. By identifying their own common triggers or allergic reactions people's lives can be helped greatly. Strengthening the breathing muscles has also been of great benefit and research has proven this point. Check that you are not taking drugs that make your asthma worse Such as aspirin and in some people, certain drugs for glaucoma, high blood pressure, angina, migraine and thyroid problems. Avoid chest infections. Protect yourself from pollution indoor and outdoor. Check your workplace for allergens and irritants, this accounts for a great many problems. Peak flow meters put people in touch with their airways and give an early warning of asthma attacks. Review your drugs the amounts taken and the inhaler devices, some people go on taking these drugs for months without need. Professor brostof recommends osteopathy treatment Vigorous exercise is highly recommended, studies have shown that people who do exercise require fewer drugs Lose weight, studies have shown people who are more overweight have a higher chance of developing the disease. There appears that there is good evidence now that the western diet with its high fat and salt intake and low fruit and vegetables is part of the reason for the epidemic of asthma. Swimming does seem to help some people with reports of peak flow improving after having done the swim, other reports indicate that the humidity helps the airways. Factors which seem to encourage asthma- according to our learned professor 1.Allergens from dust, pet's pollen, moulds either in the mothers blood during pregnancy or in the air at birth. 2.Natural antibodies in the mothers breast milk 3.Other microbes 4.Natural bacteria in the gut, which can be altered by taking antibiotics. 5.Parsitic worms 6.Vaccinations 7Toxic chemicals from tobacco in the mothers bloodstream if she smokes when pregnant. 8Irritants such as tobacco smoke and nitrogen dioxide in the air that the baby breathes. Edgar Cayce approach to healing Asthma There are quite a few principles which cayce advocated 1.All healing comes from the infinite – that means from attunement and harmony with our spiritual source 2. At the same time each person must take responsibility for his or her health and healing process. No one can simply sit back waiting passively for healing to occur. 3.All healing is the changing of the vibrations within no one can hate his neighbor and not get stomach upsets as a result. Thoughts are real and have weight and value. 4.Cayce warned people about certain drugs and talked about them as palliatives that deceive the soul with half-truths and temporary relief. 5 He also mentioned that the very best treatment procedure could bring about a temporary worsening of conditions. If we did not recognize this we could give up just as there was a change in our health. Emphasis was also placed upon self-acceptance. As we rid ourselves of self-condemnation we make room for healing forces to work. Optimism and hope .We are encouraged to expect healing Patience, we must be willing to invest whatever time and trouble it takes. 6 We are encouraged to use creative visualization to stimulate our own healing, which usually takes more than a few sessions. 7.A commitment to a purposeful life .Not just any purpose but one which reflects care for other people. To help balance our karma. 8. There appears to be quite a few causes for this problem.Cayce gave 73 readings for 23 people and specified the causes to have its origin in the neuralgic stimuli which were touched off by either lesions and adhesions in the bronchi and larynx or by pressures exerted in the autonomic ganglia and their connections with the cerebrospinal system. In other words spinal problems were involved occurring mainly in the dorsal and cervical area. Poor spinal misalignments combined with certain other factors such as stress or poor diet would also cause the bronchi to constrict bringing on an asthmatic attack. Frequently congestion would result and toxins which were not fully eliminated from the lungs would cause a reaction in the kidneys and liver. Glands associated with the assimilation system would also come involved. An interesting exercise was mentioned for strengthening the lungs, this came I believe from Harold reilly he found that by blowing up several balloons a day this aided conditions of asthma, emphysema and other disorders. In certain cases the elimination process had been disturbed so The eliminations, which may have been disturbed, have to be brought back to normal and in balance with the assimilations. The deep and superficial circulation which is often disturbed should be restored. The glands of the body should be brought also into balance. Irritation of an external nature should be eliminated. Dietary adjustments should be made, which are very important with a severe restriction of sweets, only honey once a day was allowed no white bread potatoes tomatoes or dried beans or rice. All fruits vegetables and nuts were desirable Fowl of fish for protein. Colonics should be given weekly for 2-3 weeks then perhaps once monthly. Enemas could be used if colonics were not available. Atomidine can be given in a series this is to balance the glands one drop daily in half a glass of water for five days stop for three days then to two drops daily for five days stop for three days. Then back to one drop daily then a rest and start the regime again. These factors applied in a therapeutic regime need to be done with patience and persistence. Acute attacks of asthma were controlled in various ways although it is implied that when other forms of therapy have begun the attacks would become less severe. Calcidin 1-5 drops in 5 ounces of warm water sipped every 15-20 mins is one suggestion. Atomidine 6 drops in a tablespoon of water sipped entirely once every 6 hrs is another. Special inhalants were also advisee such as to 4 oz of grain alcohol add oil of eucalyptus 20 mins, rectified oil of turpentine 5mns,compund tincture of benzoin 15mns. Apple brandy fumes from a charred oak keg were also recommended this was prepared by taking either a 1- 2 gall charred oak keg and filling it with pure apple brandy just half a gallon. Drill 2 holes in the top and breathe the fumes twice a day, the keg should be placed near a heat appliance of some kind to enable the fumes to come off readily. This acts as a purifier of tissue but also allows the tissue to be revivified. Of interest to a male adult General advice was to avoid sweets entirely, as these would cause irritation and also avoid tea and coffee or any of that nature 36-42 osteopathic adjustments applying heat at the same time. Calcidin recommended. 4. Ensure your diet is good raw salad once a day ideal or 5 portions vegetables or fruit daily ensure adequate protein women 60 grams day men around 70grams. Ensure you get adequate minerals all of them particularly calcium and magnesium, iron in the right proportions and combinations. See Adele Davis book lets eat right to keep fit ISBN 0046410171. Ensure adequate water intake of the order 1-2 litres per day that's right water. Blood sugar make sure you are not suffering low blood sugar as this can very quickly affect your mood. Also according to a known therapist who says that some of her patients had food intolerance's or reactions to certain foods which were a significant contributory cause of depression .when certain foods were taken out it seems immediate results were found. So it might pay you to have a test done on the relationship of your foods and you. It seems a great many benefits are obtained when you cut out foods that don't suit you. 12 Spiritual healing, Reiki, find a good healer - but someone you feel an attunement with at a soul level otherwise you can have negative results making your situation worse. We are know witnessing one of the great turnings in our century where old healing practices are re-emerging such as Reiki healing, Colour healing, Seichim, Spiritual healing, Osteopathy, Massage and many others. Some of these are thousands of years old, Spiritual healing is one of those. It is exactly the same kind of energy used by Jesus in so many of his healings. Put simply Spiritual Healing, Reiki is the transference of certain energies through a channel which could be a person or an animal or even the planet, the wavelengths of this healing energy are well outside the limits of most scientific equipment but a lot of people can feel this energy . The energy in my experience has been very uplifting and beautiful which can touch and vastly influence parts of us such as the spirit or soul or our mental selves and our physical selves. It can bring a steadiness and balance and sense of well-being second to none .Its limits as to its use are in the realms of the infinite. A very simplistic analogy would be to liken it to a massive energy reservoir which can be tapped into by people and animals which act as the conduits of this energy and like wires of electricity some of which are bigger than others and so therefore big wires can transmit more energy than smaller wires. Bearing this point in mind the reader can soon appreciate that going to one healer can be vastly different than going to another as it is with so many things whether it be dentists, doctors, policeman or what have you. Spiritual Healing is natural healing energy, which is present in this universe. Spiritual healers work in many different ways to some it is the laying on of hands onto a person or animal, to others it can be sent through the power of thought. To be even in the presence of some healers can have a profound and beneficial effect on people and one wishes that there were more people giving off just as beautiful vibrations as these people were this world would truly transform it. p In , Lisa Haro <aammom615> wrote: > > > > Hello all!! > > I am new here!

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Lisa Haro asked: Hello all!!I am new here! I am speaking for several other mom's right now who are having a terrible time with their children's asthma, including my own (three kids). Does anyone have any advise on natural remedies to help childhood asthma without all of these ridiculous medications the doctors keep pushing? Any and all help would be so appreciated and passed on to others! Dear Lisa, Sorry this reply is late, I wanted to sit down for it at length, and have been busy. My heart goes out to you, having to cope with 3 children with this condition! One of the best natural remedies for opening the bronchial tubes was just taken off the market. In its infinite wisdom the FDA saw fit to remove access to Ephedra, aka Ma Huang, in spite of the fact that this herb has a history of thousands of years of safe use if used properly. Anyway, about asthma. Observation is important here. You, the parent, are the one who is on the scene to observe what triggers your child's attacks. As your children grow they will have to start taking responsibility for managing their condition themselves. An asthmatic who knows what makes him/her tick has a huge advantage over one who is passively waiting for the doctor's magic cure. As you undoubtedly know, many things can trigger an attack. Pollens, outgassing chemicals or molds in the air, food that the child is sensitive to, and emotional upsets. They all play a role. All the following suggestions are in the "If it doesn't help, it won't hurt" category. The more stress factors you can remove, the better. Let's start with air. Do you have an air filter in your home? If not, you might want to consider it. Spider plants act as natural air purifiers. What do you use to clean your home? Many asthmatics are overly sensitive to the chemicals in cleaning products, furniture waxes etc.. If you have a friend who has been trying to turn you on to safe products like Neways, Melaleucca, Shaklee, or others, do your household a favor and support a friend's business at the same time. Or shop for Ecover at the health food store. (there may be other brands, these are the ones I happen to know) Visit this website about breathing techniques: "Free Your Breath, Free Your Life,":http://www.authentic-breathing.com/ If breathing cleaner air doesn't help the asthma, what have you lost? The next basic: water! Does your child drink enough pure, clean water? Visit http://www.watercure.com for more on this topic. If drinking more water, with the addition of some high-quality sea salt, is not helpful, what have you lost? Next: Play with your food!The digestive tract is a great place to start building health.It is utterly amazing how much misery just goes awaywhen one avoids food that one is sensitive to, clearsthe gunk out of the colon, heals the intestinal tract, activates the liver, and makes sure that food that is eaten is indeed digested.You don't need the OK of a doctor to experiment with diet.Stop milk and/or wheat for a week and see whathappens. Here is a good website on allergies and food sensitivities. www.alternate-health.com You don't need the OK of a doctor to use a gentlebut effective fiber product, and to seed the gutwith probiotics.You don't need the OK of a doctor to feed yourchild digestive enzymes so he breaks down his food and has a better chance to absorb it. Taken in between meals enzymes act as scavengers that clean the blodd stream. Read about enzymes here: http://enzymestuff.com You don't need the OK of a doctor to feedyour child whole superfoods that make phytonutrients and minerals easily available to his body. By the way, a phyto-nutrient is just a vitamin that hasn't been named yet. It literally means plant food. Anyway, it is past my bedtime. This should give you plenty of food for thought to start with. All the best!

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I was talking a good friend the other day about fasting and she asked if fasting would help with asthma. I had no clue if it did or not as I do not have asthma myself. She is taking asthma medicine and I advised her that if she was interested in fasting to get with a doctor who is familar with fasting since she is taking medicine to reduce her symptoms. Is fasting something that can be effective against asthma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
